Today’s Resolution: Recreate an Old Photo

Find an old photo of yourself and recreate your pose. Bonus points for matching your outfit, scenery and expression. Where am I going to find white shorts?

Today’s Resolution: Invest In Yourself

Take the time today to research online degrees, certificates and continuing education programs.

Maybe there’s a cake decorating class you want to try? A wine-tasting class? Cooking class? Investing in yourself will always pay off.

Did you find a program that looked like fun?

Today’s Resolution: Rediscover the First Album You Ever Bought

Today, rediscover the first album you ever bought. Leave a comment about what you listened too. If you liked this resolution share it with your friends. You’ll never guess what my first album was.

Today’s Resolution: Smile About It All

The good, the bad and the ugly—whatever life throws at you today, shake it off and smile.

Today’s Resolution: Donate to Nature

There are nature preserves, wildlife parks, state parks and national parks everywhere. Today, take the time to donate some money, or the cost of an admission ticket to a fun day. Amanda & I have been living in Homosassa Florida for the past couple of months and down the street from us is a manatee habitat. We’ve already visited, but we also plan on donating some dough to the nice folks who take care of the rehabbed animals in the park too. We encourage you to do the same at your local park, preservation or audubon society.

Today’s Resolution: Lay In The Park

Laying in the park, on a hill of cool grass, may be one of the most relaxing things you can do. In the northeast where we’re from, there are only a few months out of the year that you can actually do it. Today we have guests in town, but we hope to find a park we can lounge around in, even if the word “park” is a stretch of the imagination.  I hope the weather is in your favor today so you can do the same.

Today’s Resolution: Clean That Thing

Napa, our dog, has been on a paper plate binge. I don’t know where he finds them all the time, but every five minutes, there seems to be a new one on the floor, ripped up and tossed around. Today I’m going to clean this one room, his paper plate den, where plates keep exploding.

As for you, well, surely there’s something you’ve been meaning to clean!

Today’s Resolution: Help Someone Find a Job

We all know somebody that is looking for a job. Today, help a friend in their  job hunt. Contact colleagues at other companies and inquire about job openings. Search through job listings, or even connect them with a LinkedIn contact. You can make a huge difference in someone’s life by helping them find a job.

Today’s Resolution: Read the Newspaper

Today you’re going to give print a chance. Pick up the newspaper and read till your heart is content. We plan on picking up the New York Times. The truth is, I’ve never read the Times paper but I’ve enjoyed their articles online. What paper did/will you buy?

Today’s Resolution: Plan a Picnic

Picnics are one of those things that you just never plan enough of. Today, Amanda and I are planning a picnic out on the boat. I’m sure we’ll find a great place to drop anchor and nom. Thankfully Napa will have two lifeguards keeping a watchful eye on him, unlike last time when he jumped off the boat like a maniac.
